Court records show he was charged in Baltimore. The Annapolis Capital reports that Snowden was in a vehicle initially pulled over for a broken tail light.

The Capital quotes Cary Hansel, Snowden’s attorney, saying further investigation into this case will show that it’s a non-issue. Hansel said the marijuana found was only a trace amount.

According to state records, Snowden is scheduled for a court appearance in Baltimore on May 3.

Snowden was charged on 4/20, a day widely associated with the movement to legalize marijuana.

An attorney for Snowden, an Annapolis resident, announced this weekend that Snowden will be taking a sabbatical from his job to pursue a lawsuit against both Anne Arundel County and County Executive John Leopold.
